Good 300 yard Scope for Rem 700 22-250

That says the Vipers and PST's are made in Phillipines using glass from Japan. Does Not say ALL VORTEX are made in Phillipines. So it must be China where the Crossfire and Diamondback's are made.

Possibly never looked at the lower lineup below the Vipers.

Hey Wayne, not sure if you missed the part about the base and rings, but I am letting them go also. They are 30mm rings. Something to consider before you pull the trigger on a scope you like. It's one less expense.

Forgot that one. Thanks man.

All Vortex scopes are made in the Phillipines even their Viper PST line. Here is a reply from the Vortex rep, but given their reputation about warrenty I would hesitate to buy one.

Has anyone had personal experience with Millett scopes? Opticsplanet has big discounts on them and they seem to have good reviews. It doesn't mention adjustable objective on these in the descriptions though and the Millett website is blocked at my work.

Their not too bad but the clarity and light gathering ability is lacking a lot.

The Viper line is in a whole different world/class than the Crossfire or Diamondback. The link I provided was to the Viper model. Much higher quality! I believe the Crossfire is made in China or Phillipines while the Viper is from Japan.

I run the NIKON buckmaster 4.5-14 on my 308.

I like the scope and the program NIKON has For the bdc scopes.

Love the nikons

Prolly. Let me finish my investigating/education


Are these gone through by authorized folks, or just individuals selling?

SWFA buys them and then you buy them from SWFA.

Maybe for a 3-9x40

I'm thinking I need at least a 14.


What about the Nikon Buckmaster 6-18x40

Don't forget about Sightron.
I still feell they are a quality scope at more than reasonible prices. I think they extended their rebate offer again. I got my rebate back in like 2 weeks, so you know it isn't BS.

My suggestion would be to decide whether you do or do not want to dial your shots. You may not need to really do much dialing at only 300yrds. So a BDC reticle may do fine or (god forbid) a BDC dial could work. of course MOA and mildot reticles are better if you ask me. BDC stuff is a crutch if you ask me.
At a cheap priced scope , the mechanisms are all shoddy at best. This is the biggest reason i went with a Sightron. They have a patented mechanism inside and I have tested it by shooting the box, etc.
The adjustments are great on this thing.

Sightron big sky line of scopes . Unless you are shooting something small , 300 yards isnt that far. I'd say 10x to 12x should be more than enough.
I ended up with a 3-12x42mm for about 300$ after rebate.
They are Japanese made, and feel as good a quality as good cameras, great adjustment, positive dials ,etc.
Sightron is a great underdog still, meaning good deals. Nikon lines are good , but I only liked the monarch and up lines. Leopold is just bullshit in the cheaper ranges if you ask me . They are the incumbant to make comparisons against.
